A system for automatically establishing a temporary electrical power connection comprises a first coupling member including a sealing ring surrounding a first electrical coupling means and a second coupling member including a sealing ring contact surface surrounding a second electrical coupling means. The sealing ring and the sealing ring contact surface are configured for being pressed together, whereby they seal off a vacuum chamber. A vacuum conduit is connected to the vacuum chamber for establishing therein a vacuum capable of firmly holding together both coupling members, thereby defining a mechanical coupling position. The first or second electrical coupling means include a surface electrode dimensioned for achieving a plurality of possible electrical coupling positions around a central electrical coupling position. The seal ring and seal ring contact surface are configured for achieving a sealed contact and thereby a mechanical coupling position in each of these possible electrical coupling positions.
